Quiet and Courtesy Hours

Students are responsible for knowing the following:

Courtesy Hours are the hours outside of the listed Quiet Hours. During all hours of the day, you are expected to be sensitive to the fact that your neighbors do not want to hear your noise. Courtesy Hours does not mean 'anything goes.' If you are confronted for noise (even during Courtesy Hours), you are expected to comply with the request as if it were Quiet Hours. Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours/day. Quiet Hours are Sunday through Thursday from midnight to 8:00 AM, and Friday and Saturday from 2:00 AM -10:00 AM. Since a residence hall is a group living situation, it is important that residents be considerate of one another and the community around them. Generally, the right to quiet supersedes the right to make noise. On Friday and Saturday all events must end by 1:00 AM.

Residents are allowed to store and use musical instruments in their rooms, but are expected to respond to any requests for quiet (regardless of the time of day). Residents who are not responsive to repeated requests may be required to permanently remove the instrument(s) from the residence hall.
